When the gala began in 2001, Automation Alley was primarily an Oakland County initiative. Today, the Alley's membership includes nearly 600 organizations spanning all of Southeast Michigan.
Right now, just 9 percent of engineers in Southeast Michigan are women. Automation Alley supports the STEPS camp as a part of our commitment to ensuring that Southeast Michigan has a well-prepared, diverse technology workforce well into the future.
Automation Alley shares the RARE Foundation's passion for the youth of America, their role models and mentors. This is a great way to recognize the Everyday Heroes in our State who are truly making a difference for others.
